Now wash your hands please

Some of you know that there was a time when I worked in a rather splendid wholefood co-op. It was a good while ago, but I learned alot about the food trade in a short space of time and could get quite animated on the subject of wholefoods, given the opportunity.

I remember once someone had an idea for promoting the sale of prunes, and put up a large notice next to the proper shelf, where it said simply

Start a new movement.

Eat Prunes

The sign didn’t last long — not all of our customers were endowed with a sense of humour — but the phrase has stuck in my mind for some reason.
